Murder of Nancy

Captain Laurence Weber and Lieutenant Chloe Guerin dive into a dark enigma involving the theft of a piece of art and a murder in the French city of Nancy, during a prestigious Art Nouveau art auction. The atmosphere of luxury and refinement is interrupted when a man's body is found in one of the event's galleries, triggering an investigation that will test both their professional skills and personal endurance.

Nancy, a city known for its artistic heritage and architecture, becomes the setting for this crime revolving around the valuable art market. The auction, considered one of the most important events for collectors and specialists, soon becomes the center of attention for very different reasons. The victim, a well-known art dealer, was at the event to secure multimillion-dollar sales. His death is a devastating blow to the art world, but the mystery lies not only in his murder but in the deeper implications it carries.

Captain Weber, known for his meticulous approach to complex cases, and Lieutenant Guerin, a young officer with a brilliant analytical mind, are called to solve the crime. Together, they must navigate the intricate networks of relationships within the art world, where the value of pieces often eclipses the morality of those pursuing them. The clues point to a possible theft, but the motivations behind the crime seem to be much more personal and filled with betrayal.

As the investigation progresses, Weber and Guerin discover that the killer not only has a connection to the victim but is also linked to one of the most coveted pieces at the auction, a masterpiece that has mysteriously disappeared. The dynamics between the auction attendees, collectors, and event staff complicate the clues further, turning the investigation into a game of deceit and manipulation.
